DG 34 transfer thread

I have Olise over Sarabia…don't know if I'll stick with both Eze and Olise though, seems overkill

Would BB be a good idea this week? I've two free transfers. Was going to wait until GW37 after WC in 35, but am tempted to play it now....

Think I'll get in Sa this week, not too confident in a CS but have a one week punt before a Wildcard.

Tough decision on who to bench, seems madness to bench Palmer. Bolded players are doubles

Jose Sa

VVD Saliba Doughty

Havertz Saka Salah Foden/Palmer

Solanke Darwin Watkins

I'm using BB myself, with 2 FTs, and with Bradley injured & Son having no game the transfers out are fairly easy.

The transfers in are the tricky thing. I was going to do VVD as a nailed Liverpool defence but their defence is not keeping clean sheets so I'm re-thinking that. I had plans Eze being the other player to bring in, but had also thought about Garnacho, but that is swung back to Eze again as a differential punt. Olise being back will help him.

Currently looking at this, with doublers (10) in bold

Neto Flekken

DEF Gabriel Brandwaithe RAN Lewis

Saka Salah MID Palmer Foden

Nunez Cunha Haaland

What do people think of Haaland this week? Will he play in the cup game or will Pep 'risk' starting Alvarez instead and keep Haaland for the league game instead? Pep will want to win the league over the cup. As I type that, I have sort of convinced myself that that is what happens, therefore Haaland starts the league game which is another 5 or 6 days away.

The Wolves injury situation has fairly screwed my BB plans anyways, I can't take the risk on Cunha or RAN only playing 1 game between them from 4. I won't get all 4 games anyways, and that is on top of the Man City trio at risk too. I originally had 10 DGW players with a Man City trio as bench + Flekken.

If I hold off until 37 for BB, and using only FTs until then I can get to the 6 DGW players, maybe 7 depending on Pep, with a good bench of single GW players with decent fixtures. I probably just have to.

There's too many flags here for a BB isn't there? Doing Cunha → Solanke (-4) would mean that I would have to do VVD → someone like Zinchenko/White/a lower priced Liverpool defender but there is a risk that they don't start twice and/or keep a CS.

Wolves have rightly messed up your BB plans when it would have looked tasty earlier in the week.

You just don't know with City & Pep but Haaland doesn't look "on it" last few weeks. It's a risk along with getting the defender who play's twice especially for a -4. I don't mind taking a chance with TAA etc on a FH.

Ya, I'm just trying to go against the template FH a bit is all to gain rank. Many ahead in ML have FH chip so may play it safe. Havertz will swap in there I'm sure before deadline, but very little updates on Odegaard so do I take the chance. Twitter knows nothing.

Tough call because we don’t know the extent of Haaland’s injury.

who to bench?

Isak or Palmer can't believe I'm thinking of benching the best player in the league but think

after the cup match I might bench Cole

currently with mateta isak solanke

saka mc allister salah bruno palmer (can't bench bruno at home to sheff u, think he might match most

of the dgw players)

only have gabriel doughty and raya in defence with Estu my only other fit defender

no idea who to bring in there, Ait Nouri was the plan but he'll miss the first game

I'm struggling with any pool defender

They've conceded in 8 of last 9 with 4 being at home to palace burnley sheff utd and Luton so only

2 returns for Vvd in that with one goal one cs

It's possible they might get something away to Everton but can't see a cs away to Fulham

I'll probably go with Trent, he's 8th of all defenders despite missing ten games so maybe worth the risk

defo not Zinchenko. Gabriel safest pick and just as likely to be involved in a goal as White.

Did Morris to Mateta which meant benching Palmer. We'll see how that goes...

VVD and Havertz for Doughty and Son with my 2fts. Captained Kai too as he is in form over the out of form Salah.

Just hope he starts both games!
